The inaugural SICSA Christmas Lectures were held in December 2012 were a huge success, with over 600 High school pupils in the 13-18 age range attending. We received many compliments from High School teachers about the event and it was a fantastic showcase for raising the profile of Cyber Security to both genders of the nation’s future workforce.

The purpose behind the event is:
– use light hearted and fun methods to introduce a career in Cyber Security to school pupils before they make their final Unversity choices.
– address the skills and gender gap
– raise cyber security profile through publicity generated by the lectures

This year SICSA (Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance) will be taking the event on the road to the following cities:
– Monday 16th December – University of Glasgow
– Tuesday 17th December – Edinburgh Napier University
– Wednesday 18th December – Dundee Abertay University
– Thursday 19th December – Aberdeen Robert Gordons University
